But if you do notice a rash, or skin irritation, check with a vet, because your dog may be having an allergic reaction to the flea treatment.

Can you put frontline on pets that dont have fleas my pets don't have them but both my brother's pets do and i am always around them so is it safe to put it on my pets even tho they don't have any?
frontline is there to protect your pets from getting it and to get them off. so yes its safe if they dont have fleas or ticks or anything of the sort.
How long should you wait to give a cat a bath after application of Frontline since he still has fleas visible?
The minimum would be two weeks. I had the same problem, and if you're cat still has fleas, try Frontline Plus. It worked SO well for me, but the regular Frontline didn't do anything! You can comb your cat with a flea comb soon after you've applied Frontline. Place the cat on a light-coloured towel or sheet, or even place him in the bath and comb him thoroughly. This will take the adults out of the fur and will be visible on the towel or in the bath. Be sure to do this once or even twice a day to remove as many adult fleas as possible. Also, wash any furniture and carpets regularly as flea larvae and eggs can live in these for months.
How long does frontline spray take to kill fleas and ticks?
Answer 3Spot-On Pesticides such as Frontline, Zodiac, Defend, Bio Spot, Advantix, Adams and Advantage trigger adverse reactions in dogs and cats, shorten life spans, cause terminal illness, and premature death. Chemicals injected into your pets blood stream compromise with their vital organs, including the liver, kidney and thyroid. Recent research suggests that the toxic effects lead to a 25% reduction in life expectancy in those animals treated, and inevitably to a painful and premature death. Pets treated with such toxins also experience nausea, nervous disorders, sleeplessness, flaky skin, scabs and other uncomfortable effects created by a compromised immune system.Veterinary Edit:Spot on Pesticides ACTUALLY spread throughout the sebaceous glands on the skin so that they cover the pet fully, there is NO for the medication to get into the pets blood stream. The safest products out there to use are actually Frontline, Advantix, and Vector. Frontline even did a study on the potency of the active ingredient in their product and found that a small dog 6-12 lbs could consume the contents of ten 88-132 lbs tubes and still be perfectly fine with minor diarrhea. The problem with fleas is that they lay 20,000 eggs per day per flea, so if you see 1-2 fleas, in a few weeks you will have 20,000 - 40,000 fleas.

How do you get rid of fleas after trying everything on the market?
With an experience, I've learned that dawn antibacterial soap is THE best way to get rid of fleas.. even better than frontline. And not only is it the best, but you can also let your best friend smell the fragrance you want it to, whether it's apple blossom or lavender.
If you sleep with dogs you'll wake up with fleas?
The Probverb says: "If you lie down with dogs, you will get up with fleas."Meaning: If in LIFE you associate yourself with those of low or unsavory character you stand a good chance of having an even less favorable problem to deal with.
How long do you have to wait to bathe your dog after applying front line top spot?
I am a dog groomer and it has been my experience that it is best to wait 2 days all the way around, meaning that after the dog has been bathed, wait 2 days before you apply the frontline and then wait 2 days to bath the dog again after it has been applied. Frontline DOES NOT seep into the dogs blood stream and kill fleas that way!! The natural oils on the dog's skin carry the frontline throughout the body and prevent fleas and ticks. This does not happen immediatly, it can take up to 18 hours.This is a FAQ from the frontline website."How long after application can my pet be bathed or go swimming?"FRONTLINE Brand Products remain effective for 30 days, even if a pet swims or is bathed. After application, keep the dog or cat from getting wet until the application area appears dry, usually 24 hours. If a FRONTLINE Brand Product is to be applied after a bath, make sure the pet is completely dry before application.
Can cat fleas live in human clothes?
No! No! No! cat fleas cant live in human clothes! its a scientific fact!!!!!Correction:There are no "cat fleas" - fleas are fleas, and the same ones that get on cats also get on dogs and other animals. The even bite people, but since people don't have fur for them to hide or burrow in, they don't stay on them.And yes, fleas can live in clothing. Fleas can actually live in a sort of suspended animation for a long time, even outside in the cold winter. Then as soon as they detect body heat, they are able to leap onto the body of the animal that's nearby.

She cannot be around other dogs until she has been fully treated. A good way to check the dog is fully treated is to look at their stomach. This is the easiest place to see fleas and flea poop. Hope this was helpful :)
A flea's symbiotic partner?
Dogs and cats! Fleas are symbiotic scavengers who eat dead tissue and keep their partner's skin groomed and cleaned. Potentially the fleas may even remove scabies, mites and ring worm given a chance to do their job.
